EXTRACT OF A LETTER RECEIVED FROM INDIA BY A GENTLEMAN IN EDINBURGH. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EntToß,—An article in your Paper, taken from The Northampton Mercury, induces me to add a word or two to my. last Letter therein, on the same subject, first referring the writer to a perusal thereof. 1 have said, and now repeat, that to be Conveyancer it was never intended he should be an Attorney, or a Barrister at Law. The.former is constituted by au Act of Parliament, and is ad mitted on the rolls of Attornies by a Judge of the Courts in IVestminster, when he is under their controul, for protection, censure, or dismissiOn, according to his conduct. His business is not Conveyancing, of which perhaps he never saw a deed, except the out side, in the whole course of his Clerkship. No ! his business is to prosecute and defend suits, in which his name must appear upon the primary to the final proceedings. This Le was formerly confined to, as the business of Con veyancing was to the Scriveners, who were. a body corporate, respectable and respected. Yet, as an Attorney, he was not excluded from it, though be now very illiberally attempts to ex clude them as Conveyancers, who cautiously re fer to Counsel learned in the law for assistance ; and pray, Sir, what does an Attorney do less ? Of the two he is less sufficient, because less prac tised, and, tearful of doing wrong, be employs those that can do right, whether they be Attornies or Barristers ; yet, in the very teeth of this tact, he would lock out of business those who, front study and experience, are the most capable to serve him. Such an antithesis is ridiculous, and exposes him as a man, either soberly drunk, or unhappily insane. Reputable as the name of an Attorney was, before the fire of London, what is it now, that any one among them should scatter his spleen against his superiors ? Is ti e name a mantle for ignorance, and to smother merit with a blanket ? Cannot a man be an able Convey ancer, without being an Attorney I He can Cannot a man be an able Lawyer, without being a Barrister ? He can ! but not to dispense law as an Advocate, or to sign proceedings, unless he be called to the Bar. On the whole, Certificated Conveyancers, who are not applied to as con jurors or fortune-tellers, are a useful body of men, begotttit, as the late Lord ALvats LEY said of Special Pleaders, by the ignorance of Attor nies, and rocked and dandled into practice by their indolence. A CERTIFICATED CONVEYANCER, -Neither an ATTORNEY nor BARRI STEB. 1 " You knoW the battalion lam attached to i s part of the Nagpoor subsidiary force, and I regret to inform you, that lately we have been most treacherously deceived by the Nagpoor Prince.— He bad called us to his assistance, as he pretend ed, to protect him and his country front the ,ra vages of the Piodarees, but it would seem it was only to wait the opportunity until he had got the greater part of our troops at a distance from his .capital in pursuit of the robbers, to declare open war against us. Only four regiments of the force remained behind : one at the capital, and the other three at Hussingabad ;-.and he no doubt expected, with his innumerable army, to have cut up a num ber so inferior to his own. He had ,a force of nearly 60,000 at and near to his capital, and we had only one regiment of the force, three troops of cavalry, and three regiments of Madras troops there: He attacked these with part of' his host, and 2000 Arabs i, but fortunately, after a contest of many hours, the battle - ended in our favour ; a cessation of hostilities took place, and in the mean time being reinforced, we in our turn attack ed him, and after a very hard contest he was entirely defeated. The consequence was, he threw himself on our mercy, and was reinstated, but had the best part of his country taken front hint for his temerity. Whilst these affrays took place at Nagpoor, our battalion, the 2d of the 23d, with the Ist of the 1 1 th, left Hussingabad, to attack an army near there. We attacked them at the town of Serinagur, on the sth of last month. They had taken up very advantageous ground, their cannon being posted on three small hills in our front, anti in the rear they were protected by an extensive wood. They received us with mighty pomp, and a heavy but ill-directed fire flout the whole of TO T. TAYLOR. Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London, Hostountn SIR, IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since th e 1 year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Imes Venerea; which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoing severalses-ere courses of salivation, and twice dis chargod from the llospital with little relief, would appear to be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period ao my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, • one on each arm, and my legs were broke outin a frightful manner ; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of laceration for the last seven years; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do ran tire 21ith o. May ; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit -in little more than a month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed— soon atter, the sores on any legs healed also ; luring, how ever, considerable diseolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaiiiing its sataral hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going oif.-1 thus isecame, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former Complaints—have recovered my former spirits a rid stesneth, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew ere, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg- you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant, ALEX.

AIX-LA-04APELLE, SEPT 3.—A part of the equipage of the Emperor of Austria arrived here yesterday morning, consisting of sixteen carriages, drawn by two Ind tour horses. Prince Hardenberg will make but a - short stay in this City ;. his Flightless is going to the Rhine, where he will have an interview with Prince Metternich. It seems to•bc certain that the King of Prussia will be here on the 24:h or 25th of this month, and that the Sovereigns will make ;heir solemn entry on the 27th. Persons who appear to be well informed, affirm that the stay of the Sove reigns at Aix-la-Chapelle will hardly exceed three weeks. Tiw etpiipagcs of the King of Prussia set c.iff from Berlin for this city on the 22d. HAGUE, &PT. 4.—We learn, that by an order of , the King, the exportation of potatoes is pro hibited. ,FIAGus, SEPT. 6.—An official notice has been issued by the Minister of narine, stating,' that in consequence of the acts of piracy, originating in the hostilities between Spain and its Colonies, he has been enjoined to send orders to the Commair , dens of all his Majesty's ships in commission, to protect the flag of the Netherlandi against all acts of piracy committed, under pretext of these hosti lities, by vessels not belonging to the subjects of his Catholic Mjesty, and not armed or fitted out in his dominions, but pretending to have letters of marque from his Catholic Majesty, or from persons exercising the Government in those pro vinces or parts of them. The Commanders are ordered to bring all vessels committing such acts into the ports of the kingdom or the colonies, to be proceeded against according to the rigour of the law. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 7.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Orange arrived here yesterday afternoon, and will remain here a few days before they go to Spa. The desire of seeing this Illustrious Pair attracted a great concourse of persons to the Theatre, where the Prince in fact appeared, but the public were disappointed of seeing the Princess, who was probably fatigued from the, ourney. As soon as the Prince appear ed in his box, be was received with loud accla mations, which seemed sensibly to affect him. Some of our Journtds have announced that the Projets of the New Codes ►were quite ready, and that they will be laid before the Staten-General for their approbation at the beginning of the next Session. We learn from the Hague, by a channel on Which ►ve fully rely, that the Council of Bask is still employed on this subject, and that it even appears that we must not expect to see them laid before the States• General during the next Sessions. Between the 26th and 30th ult. 380 passengers arrived at Calais from Dover, and 262 left the former place. for the latter. At Boulogne, be tween the 11th and 30th ult. 141 passengers ar rived from England, and 209 took their depar ture. • their cannon; .we gave them little time to rectify this mismanagement. The party I was with Charged up one of the hills, and we soon thinned their ranks with the cool steel, and took the .guns ; the other hills and guns were also taken, and when they saw this, they immediately fled.— Their strength consisted of 7000,. ours of 1400 They lost 600 or 700 killed and wounded; and our loss Was trifling in comparison, being only 3 killed, and 15 or 16 wounded. We took 4 ele phants, 40 camels, and Jots of horses, &c. &c. ; and I seized a prize, which I suppose would not likely be found on an European field of battle, being . no less than four beautiful hunting'hawks ; they belonged to ow! of the Chiefs of the enemy, are capital hunters of hares, partridges, quails, &c. and are reckoned very valuable. .‘ When tine Nagpoor Rajah broke our, others of the Mahratta powers followed his example.— The Peishwa, the head of them, bad previously risen at Poona!), where be received tight work for it from the Hon. Mountstewart Elphinstone. Se veral battles have taken place with him, in all of which he has been befeated, and Poondi has been taken. He still holds out, h o w ever ,,b u t no d ou b t ._. • will soon be knocked lip, and have h►is county taken from him. • " One of •the greatest battles that has been fought in India was fought the other day. Hot kar, another Alabratta Prince, rose up against the Government, with an army of 40,000 horse, and 30,000 foot. It was:not long hefore he was at tacked by an army of ours 12,000 strong, under the command of Sir Thomas 1-1!slop, a gallant of ficer, when, after a severe conflict, liolkar was beat off the field, and lost the whole of his- can non, amounting to 83 pieces.. In a second ac tion he was equally unfortunate, being com pletely beat, and having 32 pieces more cannon taken from him. Holkar lost about 3000 killed and wounded, and our loss was about 500 killer and wounded ; 3 officers killed and 33 wounded It is a glorious period in kndia. The - Marquis of Hasti►►gs is prompt .and quick in his measures, kid his government has been most successful.- 114 . .. e greater part of the country is now freed of th*•rindarees, and many of the remaining Chiefs are 'suing for mercy. " We have been marching from one place to another for some months past. We have again left Serinagur, on a march to the westward; but . we will - have to canton•somewhere sbon; as the weather is becoming so intolerably hot." DREADFUL ACCIDENT FROM A STEAM ENGINE.— Yesterday morning, at . eleven o'clock, a most shocking accident occurred at Mr. J. Jones's, grinder and file -cutting manufactory, in Castle street, Saffron-hill. In one part of the manufac tory the business of flock-cutting is carried on by means of a powerful engine, used for cutting the materials. A fine boy,, of the .name of Sinclair, eleven years of age, whose business was to sweep away the cut flocks as they came out of the ma chine, without receiving orders, or having any oc casion, crept in unperceived under the large rolling cutter, and unthinkingly, it is supposed, lifted up his head, and having on a tight leather cap, the teeth of the roller laid hold of hin►, and pulled him into, the machine, by which his bead was nearly ground to pieces, which caused the cap of the machine to fly open, and a stoppage in the engine. This alarmed the workmen ; the engine was instantly stopped in order to ascertain the cause ; the boy was missed front his work, and called, but no answer returned : at length he was discovered in the small box, or trough, tinder the cutting roller, in the dreadful manner above described; No blame can attach to any person. The INFLUENCE of RELIGION on the STATE. FOR THE SUN. [Continued.] A genuine spirit of religion, let the form of it be what it may, makes us just to mankind, and confines' us from doing wrong ; makes us avoid vice, and adhere to trotb ; to. forbear with patience, and fly from . unlawful commerce. Whoso doeth these things shall sit upon an holy hill as a good Citizen, and .be convinced that his obedience to the laws of God will strengthen it to the laws of man, and that they are never so well fulfilled as when they are respectively subservient to each other. The leading points of religion, among the people of Pegu, are not to commit murder, or to steal ; nor to hurt their neighbour, but to _do him all the good in their power. With these they think themselves worthy subjects, under their Government, and that they shall be acceptable in any religion whatever. • The philosophy of the ancients was a species of religion, and it was directed to their universal welfare. • Never were any principles more hoy nourable to human nature, or tended more to form good men, Citizens and Subjects, than those of the Stoics, the destruction of whom, as a sect of Zeno, was a misfortune, only redressed by Christianity. It was this philosophy, not with standing its excess, that made great Emperors, and, by opening the mind, a great people, wbo obeyed the laws as a duty, and reyeredibeir Prince and his Government. Religion and laws make a people moral and respectful, but when either wanders from its des tined purpose, the other should be strengthened. Of harmony a due proportion should subsist be tween both. When it absolves the mind from all human actions, of what class they may be, it loses its greatest influence, and little then does it signify whether a people be virtuous or not. In hoping tor rewards hereafter, without the fear of punishment here, tfie laws lose their effect, and asstrred of one, they are superior to the other; and looking on death with contempt, they act without restraint ; because the greatest pe nalty the laws can inflict will cease in a moment, and commence their happiness. Yet religion may support a State, when laws will not ; as when it is agitated by civil war, and forcing a part of 'the people to remain quiet. The most holy religion may occasion the worst of consequences, when not associated with the principles of society, as the' most false may the best, when associated with them. True religion should not only establish a doctrine. It should direct its influence. This the Christian doctrine cloth most admirably. It induces a hope for that state which is the object of belief, and not for a state we have already experienced. It makes us in love with a free, not a constrained, submission to the powers that be, without slavery ; a love of each other without adulation ; and above all, a love of the Almighty, and the Government of our Country. hiA :NIA RD,
